I meant to post this quote around Easter. Alas, my life (the new job, mostly) got in the way and I failed to do so. But I love it and it is Easter-y and I refuse to wait until next year to post it. Also, we're Easter people, people! In fact, our pastor is still doing Easter messages at church right now. The series is on "Easter's Enduring Message." It was borne out of a deep conviction that we ought to embrace that we are truly Easter people. We're still singing all the Easter hymns that are often reserved for one Sunday a year, too. I am LOVING it.

I encourage you to embrace this season we call Eastertide in the church. Never heard that word? Join the club...unfortunately. It is a beautiful season. Research it. Celebrate it. Enjoy it. It is a lovely word and a most blessed season. It is all about what this quote says...returning to our heart.

So, here's the quote. Hope it helps you to embrace Eastertide and the triumph that is Easter!

"And he departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here." ~St Augustine
